IMPORTANT INFORMATION »
INTENDED PURPOSE
KTM sports motorcycles are designed and constructed to resist the usual wear and tear of normal use in
competitions.
The motorcycles comply with the regulations and categories currently in effect with the leading interna-
tional motorcycle associations.
The XC and other „competition only“ labeled models are prohibited on public roads.
„On the road“ approved models are only allowed on public roads in the original homologated (throttled)
version. Without this performance restriction (i.e. de-throttled), these models are only allowed to be driven
off-road and not
on public roads.
The EXC models are designed for off-road sports endurance competitions(enduro) and not
suitable for
predominant motocross use.
NOTE: The above is a general statement. Specific limited warranty and limited guarantee information
may vary depending upon distribution. Please check with your local KTM dealer for limited warranty and
limited guarantee information specific to your KTM model and region.

In your own interest, please pay particular attention to notices that are marked as follows:
At the time this manual was typeset, it was up-to-date with the latest state of this production series. It
cannot be completely ruled out, however, that minor discrepancies may exist resulting from further design
upgrades of these motorcycles.This manual is an important part of your motorcycle and should be passed
on to any subsequent owner in case you decide to sell it.
SERVICE
Observance of the service, maintenance and tuning instructions for the engine and chassis specified in
the Owner's Manual is a prerequisite for faultless operation and the avoidance of premature wear. An
improperly tuned chassis can lead to damage and breakage of the chassis components (see chapter on
checking the basic chassis setting).
The use of the motorcycle under extreme conditions, e.g. on extremely muddy and wet terrain, can lead
to higher than average wear on components such as the drive train or the brakes. In this case it may
become necessary to service or replace wear parts before the service limit specified in the maintenance
schedule has been reached.
Ignoring these instructions can be dangerous to life and limb!
Ignoring these instructions may damage parts of the motorcycle or impair the motorcycle's
traffic safety!
